Pet care experience
I have had a dog in my life since I was 8, have raised 2 daughters now 28 and 30, added several dogs permanently as well as several foster dogs; several cats; my husband had several falcons and is a licensed falconer, boarded several horses, including the one my daughter bought on her own at age 9; numerous small animals: guinea pigs, chinchillas, and hamsters; and recently took care of my son-in-law's South American racoon, a Kudamundi, for more than a year as they began homesteading in Montana.

Always a great day!
Always a great time at Sherry's!
The dogs seemed well cared for and right at home at their place.
My big wannabe lap dog had a great time at Sherry’s house. I was updated with pics on how he was doing throughout his stay. He had lots of fun with Gus her golden retriever. Would recommend and use again for future stays.

Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to have your pet in my home, most often as a member of our family. We have a large area for free roaming (supervised of course), an outdoor enclosed kennel area, and lots of space to roam around our 10 acre property as well as our 2400 square foot home.
Home
Information Sherry Plath O. would like to know about your pet
I need to know specific information about each dog, any specific phobias, ticks, dietary needs, behavioral concerns, allergies, etc., in much the same way that a caregiver needs to understand the specific individual interests, desires and concerns for any human that one might be in charge of. You are entrusting me with a member of your family and I need to make sure I am knowledgeable, understanding and capable of meeting all of your family's needs.
A typical day
I enjoy furry friends, love to have a buddy for our dog, and enjoy being outdoors as much as possible. We like to play with sticks, balls, go on walks both leashed and unleased (based upon the individual needs of each specific dog). As a retired educator, current nature play specialist and PhD in counseling studies, I understand that the needs of each furry friend and each family is unique and important. It is my job to make certain that all is well for everyone involved, and that everyone is heard and listened to.

Availability
I am a retired educator, living on 10 acres of land just outside of Blue Grass, Iowa. We currently have a 6 year old Golden Retriever named Fergus and a rescue red tabby cat named Finlay. My schedule is flexible and I am also working at developing a business (property not yet zoned) on my property to provide TimberNook programming, where children are offered numerous free, open-ended, child directed/driven/supported play opportunities in the beautiful and important world of nature.
